\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,300
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,200
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:31,300
\nintro.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:33,500
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,400 –> 00:00:52,900
\nThis we stalk is an excitation
\nby brother, Tim Badger that he <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,900 –> 00:00:57,000
\ngave in December of last year.
\nThe title is pray for site. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:00,000
\nThis was a really great
\neducation. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,900 –> 00:01:06,200
\nTim does a study on 2nd Kings 6,
\nand essentially kind of some of <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:10,200
\nthe background and then
\napplication for us on the phrase<\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:14,200
\nof, there’s more of them or
\nthere’s more with us than there <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:14,200 –> 00:01:18,400
\nare of them.
\nRemember, Elijah praying for the<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:18,400 –> 00:01:22,000
\nhis To have the Angel armies
\nrevealed to him. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:26,300
\nTim does a great job of
\npresenting this excitation in. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:26,300 –> 00:01:29,400
\nThis was a this was one that
\nthat was sent in to us. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:33,500
\nSo thank you for the suggestion.
\nPlease do send us those we very <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:33,500 –> 00:01:36,300
\nmuch appreciate them.
\nSo here is Tim Badger. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:36,400 –> 00:01:40,600
\nPray for site.
\nThanks brother. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:42,600
\nPhil and good morning.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:48,000
\nIn Christ.
\nThis morning, we have a short <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:51,500
\nsection of Old Testament
\nhistory. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:55,700
\nI’m that we’re going to use from
\n2nd Kings chapter 6, as the <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:55,700 –> 00:02:02,400
\nbasis of encouragement and
\nexcitation and self-examination <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:06,900
\nthis morning.
\nI am going to try and stick to <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:06,900 –> 00:02:11,100
\nthis passage as much as we can.
\nHowever, we are going to see how<\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:11,100 –> 00:02:13,900
\nit links to the teaching of
\nJesus towards the end. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:14,600 –> 00:02:19,300
\nI feel at least on one occasion,
\nin his teaching, he must have <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:19,300 –> 00:02:21,300
\nbeen thinking about these
\nevents. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:24,100
\nWay back in second Kings chapter
\n6. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:25,800 –> 00:02:27,800
\nWhy would I share this with you
\nthis morning brothers and <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:27,800 –> 00:02:30,300
\nsisters is because it’s been a
\npassage that’s been really <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:30,300 –> 00:02:33,700
\nhelpful to me over the past
\nlittle while. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:35,300 –> 00:02:38,100
\nI’ve never really thought about
\nit other than possibly in Sunday<\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:38,100 –> 00:02:42,100
\nschool or the occasional
\nreference to verse 17. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:42,100 –> 00:02:47,100
\nWhen we have that amazing
\nimagery and seen set with Elijah<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:47,100 –> 00:02:49,200
\nand his servant and what his
\nservant knows. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:51,100
\nAnd we’re going to, we’re going
\nto come and look at that. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:52,300 –> 00:02:55,700
\nBut it was only about a I don’t
\nknow, eight or nine or 10 months<\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:55,700 –> 00:03:00,900
\nago when I was catching up with
\na friend for breakfast and it <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:04,400
\nwas a time when I needed help
\nand they pointed me to this <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:07,400
\npassage and I have not let go of
\nthis passage since. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:14,600
\nSo my intention this morning is
\nto share with you some of the <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:14,600 –> 00:03:17,600
\ninspiration that I have gained
\nfrom this passage and I really <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:17,600 –> 00:03:21,000
\nhope that you can strongly catch
\nits living fire. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:22,300 –> 00:03:26,900
\nSecond Kings, chapter 6 is an
\nextraordinary chapter by any <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:26,900 –> 00:03:30,200
\naccount.
\nSome of the most perplexing and <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:30,200 –> 00:03:34,900
\nunusual displays of God’s power.
\nRight here in the thick of <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:34,900 –> 00:03:38,000
\nIsrael’s growing history of
\ndeparture from God. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:42,400
\nThere’s a lack of recognition in
\nKings and Israel at this time of<\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:46,200
\nthe presence of, there’s a real
\nlack of recognition of God in <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:46,200 –> 00:03:49,900
\nthe nation and of his presence
\nin their lives and they continue<\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:52,400
\nas for a second Kings, chapter
\none opens up. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:52,500 –> 00:03:56,000
\nThey are continually seeking for
\nother sources of help. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:57,400 –> 00:03:59,700
\nThat’s really clear.
\nAnd second Kings, 1 verse 3. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:03,200
\nSo the ministry of Elijah’s
\nincredible from start to finish <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:07,200
\nby any by anyone’s description.
\nAnd but it’s just who sits for <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:08,800
\nthinking about the prophets of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:12,700
\nThis morning, we just do well
\nbefore we jump into the story. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:13,000 –> 00:04:19,000
\nTo remember why Elijah is here.
\nWhy did God send prophets like <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:23,500
\nhim to his people at these
\ndifferent stages of Israel’s <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:23,700 –> 00:04:28,700
\ndeclining history?
\nWe’re told explicitly at the end<\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:28,700 –> 00:04:32,300
\nof second chronicles.
\nThat God Did It purely because <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:32,300 –> 00:04:35,700
\nhe had compassion on his people.
\nThat’s why eyelashes here in <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:35,700 –> 00:04:38,200
\nsecond Kings chapter six.
\nThat’s why he’s here for his <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:38,200 –> 00:04:42,500
\nministry, because God loves his
\npeople, he will not let them go,<\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:42,700 –> 00:04:46,800
\nand he’s desperate for them to
\nsee his presence in there. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:48,400 –> 00:04:52,500
\nThat is why Elijah’s here, you
\nknow, it’s interesting to when <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:52,500 –> 00:04:55,500
\nyou look at Elijah in these
\nchapters are full of <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:55,500 –> 00:04:59,000
\nextraordinary things, the
\nlessons are not just for Israel.<\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:02,600
\nThere’s this constant
\ninteraction with other nations <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:02,600 –> 00:05:04,200
\naround them in particular,
\nSyria. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:04,200 –> 00:05:07,700
\nSo we know the Sunday School
\nStory of of second Kings chapter<\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:07,700 –> 00:05:10,200
\n5 with Naman.
\nWell, what’s he doing in here? <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:10,200 –> 00:05:14,900
\nWhy is he learning a lesson that
\nIsrael needed to learn, but <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:14,900 –> 00:05:17,600
\nthere’s this interaction between
\nothers around And Israel they’re<\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:19,100
\nwatching.
\nThey know what their profits are<\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:19,100 –> 00:05:21,900
\nlike, they know their names of
\nthe prophets. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:24,500
\nAnd there’s lessons that God is
\nteaching not just Israel but <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:24,500 –> 00:05:27,900
\nextending that further into
\nparts of Syria. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:27,900 –> 00:05:31,100
\nAnd as we’ll see this morning
\ninto their army, it’s amazing. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:34,800
\nWell, the thing that we’ve
\nchosen as a summary for this <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:34,800 –> 00:05:37,600
\nlittle section, is to pray for
\nsite and, you know, brothers and<\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:37,600 –> 00:05:40,100
\nsisters.
\nYou might see how that comes up <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:40,100 –> 00:05:43,000
\nin this little section.
\nThere’s three times that Elijah <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:43,000 –> 00:05:50,100
\nprays for God to affect the site
\nof in this chapter, One he does <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:50,100 –> 00:05:54,200
\nit for Elijah Elisha servant so
\nI should praise for his servant <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:54,200 –> 00:05:57,700
\nfor God to open his eyes and
\nthen the next thing you find is <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:57,700 –> 00:06:01,500
\nthat Elijah’s praying that God
\nwill blind the Syrian Army. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:05,000
\nAnd the next thing he does next
\nverse is pray for God to Open <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:10,100
\nthe Eyes of the Syrian Army.
\nIt’s weird but it’s amazing, you<\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:10,100 –> 00:06:13,300
\nknow, we need site brothers and
\nsisters and we often lose it. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:16,500
\nAnd this morning what I want you
\nto think about and to be <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:16,500 –> 00:06:19,500
\nstrengthened around as we all
\nneed. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:20,700 –> 00:06:24,100
\nIs not cite in the sense of
\nunderstanding, what God’s doing?<\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:29,100
\nOr insight into what God’s kind
\nof sovereign Province. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:29,300 –> 00:06:31,000
\nProvidence is up to, in our
\nlives. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:31,700 –> 00:06:34,100
\nI want to wind that back this
\nmorning because I think that’s <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:34,100 –> 00:06:35,300
\nwhat’s happening in this
\nchapter. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:35,600 –> 00:06:38,800
\nWhat I want us to get out of
\nthis idea of sight and praying <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:38,800 –> 00:06:43,500
\nfor site is just seeing that he
\nis present in your life. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:43,500 –> 00:06:45,200
\nNot trying to figure out what’s
\ngoing on. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:45,400 –> 00:06:48,600
\nNot to try and understand what
\nGod is doing in his Sovereign <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:48,600 –> 00:06:52,200
\nProvince, but just to pray that
\nyour faith will be strengthened <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:52,200 –> 00:06:57,200
\nto see him encamped around you.
\nAnd in the lives of other <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:57,200 –> 00:06:59,900
\npeople.
\nSo, other brothers and sisters <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:59,900 –> 00:07:03,600
\nand young people can have that
\nsite in that richness of Faith, <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:03,600 –> 00:07:05,600
\njust to believe that God is
\nhere. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:05,800 –> 00:07:08,700
\nNot to understand what he’s
\ndoing, because we don’t always <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:09,700 –> 00:07:12,500
\nBut to be strengthening our
\nfaith, that he is definitely <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:12,500 –> 00:07:15,900
\nhere.
\nYou know, this idea of things, <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:15,900 –> 00:07:19,100
\nencamped around you is in Psalm
\n34. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:19,100 –> 00:07:23,600
\nWe know the passage the pastor
\nsays the angel of Yahweh encamps<\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:23,600 –> 00:07:28,100
\naround those who fear Him Now
\nPsalm 34 is a Messianic. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:28,100 –> 00:07:30,200
\nPsalm there’s no doubt a better
\npresent sisters, but that does <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:30,200 –> 00:07:32,600
\nnot mean it only applies to the
\nMessiah. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:33,200 –> 00:07:36,200
\nHe encamps around everyone, who
\nfears him. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:39,000
\nSo it’s not just a like shin.
\nIt’s not going to be just a like<\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:39,000 –> 00:07:40,900
\nchasseur.
\nServant on some special <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:40,900 –> 00:07:43,700
\noccasion.
\nEvery one of us can have open <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:43,700 –> 00:07:47,600
\neyes to see the reality of the
\nsovereignty of God’s Providence <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:48,300 –> 00:07:52,100
\nin our lives.
\nNot that we know what will <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:52,100 –> 00:07:56,400
\nunfold but we know he’s there.
\nThat’s the story of second <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:56,400 –> 00:07:59,700
\nKings, chapter 8 and Israel
\nneeded to learn that in. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:59,700 –> 00:08:02,300
\nSo, do you?
\nAnd I so let’s dive into 2nd <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:02,300 –> 00:08:05,200
\nKings chapter 8.
\nSorry, second Kings chapter 6, <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:05,600 –> 00:08:09,700
\nthere’s four main characters.
\nOne of the characters that we <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:09,700 –> 00:08:14,900
\ncome across, is the king of
\nSyria and his army, we’re not <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:14,900 –> 00:08:18,500
\ntold his name in this record.
\nIn fact, nobody has a name in <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:18,500 –> 00:08:22,700
\nthis record except for Elijah.
\nEveryone’s Anonymous. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:23,000 –> 00:08:26,300
\nEven the king of Israel we have
\nto sort of not out his name. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:26,300 –> 00:08:28,100
\nWe’re going to do that because
\nit’s not important. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:29,700 –> 00:08:32,400
\nThe second character is Elijah.
\nHe’s referred to as the man of <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:35,600
\nGod.
\nThe prophet, he’s referred to as<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:39,200
\nmy master by a servant and he’s
\ncalled my father by the king of <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:39,200 –> 00:08:42,799
\nIsrael verse 21.
\nThe third character is the king <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:42,799 –> 00:08:47,400
\nof Israel.
\nHe has a lot to learn But don’t <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:50,700
\nforget he’s learning because God
\nhas compassion on his people. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:52,200 –> 00:08:55,900
\nWe’re in the fourth is Elisha’s
\nservant also nameless. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:56,600 –> 00:09:00,000
\nSo there’s our four characters.
\nLet’s jump in and see what God <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:00,000 –> 00:09:02,300
\nteaches through these four
\ncharacters. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:03,600 –> 00:09:05,600
\nWhat we’re really going to do is
\njust go through the story <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:05,600 –> 00:09:08,600
\nbecause it’s it’s, it’s
\nincredible. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:09,100 –> 00:09:13,000
\nFrom the very first opening line
\nof this circumstance, verse a, <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:17,200
\nlet’s read it.
\nSo, here we are the king of <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:19,200
\nSyria was making war against
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:19,200 –> 00:09:20,900
\nThis kept on it was all the
\ntime. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:20,900 –> 00:09:24,000
\nThey were sending little raids
\nin, sometimes it get a few more <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:26,700
\nraids.
\nThere is all this kind of back <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:26,700 –> 00:09:28,300
\nand forth between various
\nstations. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:28,300 –> 00:09:31,200
\nSo, verse 8, the king of Syria
\nwas making war against Israel <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:32,400 –> 00:09:37,500
\nand he consulted his servants
\nsaying, my Camp will be in such <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:41,400
\nand such a place.
\nNow, the picture that you’ve got<\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:41,400 –> 00:09:44,700
\nis the king of Syria and he’s
\ngot his private. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:45,600 –> 00:09:48,500
\nMilitary Council so we sitting
\naround maybe has a big round <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:48,500 –> 00:09:50,900
\ntable, I don’t know and I don’t
\nknow how many there were maybe <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:50,900 –> 00:09:54,300
\nthere’s 12 or 24 but he’s got
\nhis his private military <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:54,300 –> 00:09:55,800
\nCouncil.
\nThese are the Elite. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:55,800 –> 00:09:58,700
\nThese are the guys with the maps
\nand Depends of the plans to <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:58,700 –> 00:10:01,600
\ncarry out, the plans of the
\nSyrian Army which was enormous <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:01,600 –> 00:10:04,800
\nand they had high tech
\nequipment, they had horses and <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:08,500
\nchariots it was formidable.
\nSo he meets with his private <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:08,500 –> 00:10:13,700
\ngroup of consultants and War
\nadvisors and he says, my Camp <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:13,700 –> 00:10:15,400
\nwill be in such and such a
\nplace. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:15,500 –> 00:10:19,000
\nIt’s now clear that he didn’t
\nsay that but that’s what the <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:21,500
\nrecord says to us.
\nBecause it’s keeping us in the <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:21,500 –> 00:10:25,000
\ndark about where that place was.
\nHe obviously told when he met <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:28,800
\nwith them he told them where it
\nwas, but we read it as such and <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:28,800 –> 00:10:32,100
\nsuch a place, we have no idea
\nwhere kept in the dark, we can’t<\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:32,100 –> 00:10:36,600
\nsee what’s going on.
\nIn such and such a place. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:37,500 –> 00:10:41,800
\nSo we have no idea where it is
\nthe readers of this story, and <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:41,800 –> 00:10:43,600
\nthe way it’s crafted or kept in
\nthe dark. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:47,700
\nAnd apparently Israel’s not to
\nmeant to know where that is <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:47,700 –> 00:10:51,900
\neither.
\nSo really no one knows what’s <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:51,900 –> 00:10:54,600
\ngoing on in this story.
\nExcept we find out in verse 9. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:55,000 –> 00:11:00,000
\nElijah does look at verse 9 in
\nthe man of God, this is Elijah <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:00,100 –> 00:11:04,500
\nsent to the king of Israel.
\nNow, this is the median brother,<\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:04,500 –> 00:11:07,600
\nsister, I want you the way this
\nrecord is written, is fantastic.<\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:08,700 –> 00:11:12,200
\nOne moment in the story were in
\nthe council room, the private <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:12,200 –> 00:11:15,500
\nCouncil room of the king and
\nhe’s telling his advisers where <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:15,500 –> 00:11:18,800
\nthe campus.
\nThe very next verse is Elijah. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:18,900 –> 00:11:23,900
\nSending a message of where the
\nsuch and such a place was and is<\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:23,908 –> 00:11:26,800
\nstill not named verse verse 9.
\nThe man of God sent to the king <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:29,700
\nof Israel saying, beware that
\nyou do not pass this place, <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:29,700 –> 00:11:31,700
\nwhatever that was let’s just do
\nsuch and such a place. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:35,800
\nFor the syrians are coming down
\nthere to such and such a place <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:36,700 –> 00:11:40,800
\nso instantly in this story.
\nElijah knows where such and such<\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:40,800 –> 00:11:43,700
\na place is and he tells the king
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:43,900 –> 00:11:49,200
\nSo verse 10, the king of Israel
\nsent someone to the place of <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:49,200 –> 00:11:54,100
\nwhich the man of God had told
\nhim and thus, he warned him so, <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:54,100 –> 00:11:56,400
\nwell, I should warn the king and
\nhe was watchful. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:56,400 –> 00:12:00,300
\nThey’re not just once or twice.
\nThe, any T says this happened on<\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:00,300 –> 00:12:04,000
\nseveral occasions.
\nSo over and over again, you have<\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:07,300
\nthis cute, the Syrian King
\nmeeting with his army, and in <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:07,300 –> 00:12:09,800
\nthe private room, closed doors,
\neverything, and he’s like, we’re<\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:09,800 –> 00:12:12,300
\ngoing to meet in such and such a
\nplace, maybe change location. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:12,500 –> 00:12:17,400
\nAnd so he immediately sends out
\nsomeone to go there and and lo <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:20,400
\nand behold, there’s already the
\nIsraelites there or they’ve <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:20,400 –> 00:12:22,900
\nmoved in a different direction.
\nSo the kid couldn’t be <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:26,800
\nintercepted and happened over
\nand over and over again. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:26,900 –> 00:12:30,000
\nIt’s crazy.
\nAnd the king of Syria is getting<\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:30,000 –> 00:12:31,800
\nmore and more and more
\nfrustrated. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:32,700 –> 00:12:36,600
\nNobody knows what’s going on.
\nExcept Elijah and the King. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:36,600 –> 00:12:40,400
\nWhatever the king is told, it’s
\nan extraordinary set up to the <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:46,800
\nstory.
\nSo You have rage in verse 11. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:48,200 –> 00:12:50,000
\nThe way it’s written in the
\nKing. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:53,300
\nJames new King.
\nJames might just soften it, but <\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:53,300 –> 00:12:56,300
\nI think the Hebrew.
\nWhen you sort of trying to suss <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:56,300 –> 00:12:58,800
\nout what’s going on in the
\nHebrew, this is what goes on <\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:59,000 –> 00:13:00,700
\nverse 11.
\nTherefore the heart of the king <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:00,700 –> 00:13:04,200
\nof Syria was greatly troubled.
\nMaybe that’s a mix of <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:09,100
\nfrustration, and angst and just
\nhe’s just cheesed like this is <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:09,100 –> 00:13:12,600
\nreally irritating, it’s foiling,
\nmy plans every single time, <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:12,900 –> 00:13:14,700
\nright?
\nTroubled by this thing. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:14,700 –> 00:13:17,400
\nAnd he called his servants, this
\nprivate counsel and said to them<\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:17,900 –> 00:13:20,700
\nand the new King James says,
\nwill you not show me which of us<\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:25,300
\nis for the king of Israel.
\nNow in the Hebrew people say <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:25,300 –> 00:13:29,000
\nthat this has got a note of
\nsarcasm to it and he’s angry, <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:29,100 –> 00:13:31,000
\nright?
\nSo you can imagine what happened<\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:31,100 –> 00:13:34,300
\non the on the the meeting room
\nas he slams his fist on the <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:34,308 –> 00:13:38,500
\ntable bang and he says who isn’t
\non Israel’s side? <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:38,500 –> 00:13:41,800
\nHe’s so annoyed and he feels
\nthere must be a mole in his <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:41,800 –> 00:13:44,700
\nprivate counsel, right?
\nHe just says, well, who have you<\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:44,700 –> 00:13:48,800
\naren’t on the Israel side?
\nHe’s so irritated. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:49,400 –> 00:13:52,900
\nHe cannot see what is going on
\nBrothers & Sisters, but his <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:52,900 –> 00:13:56,700
\ncounsel can.
\nWhat verse 12 is extraordinary. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:57,700 –> 00:14:01,200
\nThere’s like deathly silence in
\nthe room. and then one of the <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:01,208 –> 00:14:09,000
\nservants just pipes up and says
\nno one my Lord But Elijah, the <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:14,100
\nprophet whose in Israel can tell
\nthe king of Israel, everything <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:14,100 –> 00:14:16,500
\nyou say, even when you’re
\nmuttering to yourself and your <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:16,500 –> 00:14:20,900
\nbedroom like what?
\nSo, we’ve got this extraordinary<\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:20,900 –> 00:14:24,100
\nsituation where the king of
\nSyria has just been told that <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:24,100 –> 00:14:27,800
\nevery word he speaks, whether
\nhe’s in his bedroom or his <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:27,800 –> 00:14:30,600
\nbedchamber, or he’s cruising
\ndown between the Royal <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:30,600 –> 00:14:31,700
\nresidences.
\nWhatever. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:32,000 –> 00:14:36,300
\nAnything he says to, anybody go
\nstraight to Elijah and that goes<\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:36,300 –> 00:14:41,000
\nstraight to the king.
\nIt just made me think of a <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:41,008 –> 00:14:43,900
\nsituation recently when we are
\ntraveling over to Queens and <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:43,900 –> 00:14:46,600
\ndriving and we drove through
\nParks New South Wales. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:47,500 –> 00:14:49,700
\nSome of you might know where
\nthat is and there’s a massive <\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:49,700 –> 00:14:52,500
\nsatellite there.
\nThat’s another science thing <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:52,500 –> 00:14:55,400
\nwhich I’m interested in but they
\nhave this little Center that <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:55,400 –> 00:14:57,800
\nshows how satellite dishes work
\nin all that. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:57,800 –> 00:15:00,500
\nSo it’s kind of like the
\nWhispering Wall near Hebron but <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:00,500 –> 00:15:03,600
\nyou can whisper into the
\nSatellite Dish and like way over<\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:06,100
\nthere is another little
\nsatellite dish and IT projects <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:06,100 –> 00:15:07,400
\nyour voice like you whisper into
\nit. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:07,500 –> 00:15:11,100
\nOops, and the person like people
\nway over there, like where James<\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:14,200
\nTaylor sitting, they can hear
\nyou as loud as I just made me <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:14,208 –> 00:15:17,200
\nthink of that like any little
\nwhisper bang, it’s coming right <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:17,200 –> 00:15:19,900
\ninto the years of Elijah like
\nit’s a there’s nothing <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:19,900 –> 00:15:21,500
\npreventing it.
\nHe can hear everything that’s <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:21,500 –> 00:15:25,500
\ngoing on.
\nBecause God allows him to do so.<\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:26,300 –> 00:15:29,200
\nSo you’d think if you were the
\nking of Syria and you realize <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:29,200 –> 00:15:31,300
\nthat this is probably what’s
\ngoing on and time and time <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:31,300 –> 00:15:36,500
\nagain, things have been sort of
\nfoiled because Elijah knows you <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:36,500 –> 00:15:39,400
\nwould think that well, what’s
\nthe use? <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:40,400 –> 00:15:42,800
\nBut he doesn’t, he says, right.
\nI’m going to get them. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:43,300 –> 00:15:46,700
\nLet’s get them.
\nLook at verse where we verse 12.<\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:47,300 –> 00:15:49,000
\nNo, no.
\nWe just read that verse 13, <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:49,000 –> 00:15:52,100
\nlook.
\nHe said go instantly once he <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:52,100 –> 00:15:54,700
\nlearns as he says, go and see
\nwhere he is that. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:54,700 –> 00:15:58,100
\nI’m I send and get him because
\nhe has no idea can’t see where <\/p>\n

266
\n00:15:58,100 –> 00:16:02,100
\nhe is doesn’t know.
\nAnd he also can’t see anything <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:02,100 –> 00:16:04,100
\nthat’s going on in terms of his
\nprivate counsel. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:06,100 –> 00:16:09,300
\nSo he says go get him, then I
\nmet and it was told him saying, <\/p>\n

269
\n00:16:09,300 –> 00:16:13,800
\nsurely he is in Dothan, so you’d
\nthink if you would king of Syria<\/p>\n

270
\n00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:16,000
\nand also the council you be
\nlike, well, I should just heard <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:16,000 –> 00:16:18,500
\nthat too, right?
\nLike you just said I’m getting <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:18,500 –> 00:16:21,600
\nElijah, but Elijah always.
\nSee, just got that message. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:22,900 –> 00:16:25,100
\nObviously not a text message,
\nbut it came straight to him. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:25,900 –> 00:16:29,300
\nSo then he goes ahead with this
\ncrazy plan in verse 14 and it’s <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:29,300 –> 00:16:32,600
\nextraordinarily over the top.
\nI’m just wondering, I’m getting <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:36,800
\na little bit warm as anyone
\nreally warm Can you do wonder if<\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:36,800 –> 00:16:38,400
\nwe can turn some AC on?
\nHe’s all right. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:39,500 –> 00:16:43,400
\nOh, they are, oh wait, maybe
\nit’s just up here. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:46,800
\nThat’s right.
\nOkay, so let’s just think about <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:46,800 –> 00:16:49,900
\nverse 14.
\nTherefore he the king of Syria, <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:49,900 –> 00:16:52,800
\nsend horses, and chariots, and a
\ngreat Army, and they came by <\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:52,800 –> 00:16:55,200
\nnight and surrounded the city.
\nNow, why did they do that? <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:55,200 –> 00:16:58,300
\nWell, they came by night, so, no
\none could see them, right? <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:58,600 –> 00:17:00,600
\nThey didn’t want anyone to
\nnotice this great Army and it’s <\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:00,600 –> 00:17:02,800
\na great Army.
\nNow, what are they doing? <\/p>\n

286
\n00:17:02,800 –> 00:17:05,300
\nWhat’s the purpose of the Syrian
\nKing? <\/p>\n

287
\n00:17:06,599 –> 00:17:09,599
\nHe’s here to capture one man and
\nhis sidekick. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:17:10,599 –> 00:17:12,900
\nBecause he probably knew that
\nyou had a servant with him. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:17:13,200 –> 00:17:16,599
\nSo the king of Syria gets a
\ngreat Army, he sends out his <\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:20,200
\nchariots and his horses to
\ncapture Elijah. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:24,599
\nThere’s 22 people and there’s
\nthe, the Israelite Army is no <\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:24,599 –> 00:17:26,400
\naround here.
\nThey’re probably down to the <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:26,400 –> 00:17:29,400
\nSouthwest in Samaria.
\nIf there’s any around, which is <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:29,408 –> 00:17:33,300
\nabout 15 or 17 kilometers away.
\nSo the the Israelite Army is in <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:33,300 –> 00:17:35,300
\nDothan, nor is the king and
\nDothan. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:35,300 –> 00:17:38,900
\nIt’s literally just Elijah and
\nhis servant, and the king of <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:38,900 –> 00:17:40,900
\nSyria.
\nSince his majesty, Massive <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:40,900 –> 00:17:44,100
\nretinue of of horses and
\nchariots to surround him at <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:44,100 –> 00:17:47,200
\nnight time thinking, he could
\ncatch him. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:48,700 –> 00:17:54,100
\nAnd then enters the character
\nElisha’s servant, look what <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:54,100 –> 00:17:56,600
\nhappens, verse 15.
\nAnd when the servant of the man <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:56,600 –> 00:17:59,000
\nof God, arose, early and went
\nout. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:02,000
\nNow, what do you think he was
\ndoing early when he got up? <\/p>\n

304
\n00:18:04,900 –> 00:18:09,800
\nWell, if he’s Elisha’s servant,
\nI’m almost certain. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:18:09,800 –> 00:18:12,700
\nHe would have been getting up at
\nthe crack of dawn to pray or <\/p>\n

306
\n00:18:12,700 –> 00:18:16,400
\nsomething like he’s a man of God
\nand he’s with the man of God <\/p>\n

307
\n00:18:16,400 –> 00:18:19,600
\nsupport Elijah.
\nSo no doubt they’ve slept that <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:19,600 –> 00:18:22,900
\nnight.
\nAnd he gets up, the servant gets<\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:22,900 –> 00:18:26,600
\nup in there just as the sun’s
\ncoming up in verse 15. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:27,800 –> 00:18:30,200
\nAnd I’m just imagining this
\nlittle bit embellishing the <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:31,600
\nrecord, but this is probably
\nwhat happened. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:31,800 –> 00:18:35,100
\nHe’d go out and find a nice
\nplace to pray and he’s prayed, <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:35,100 –> 00:18:36,500
\nhe just opens.
\nHis eyes looks up. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:36,500 –> 00:18:38,900
\nHe’s what?
\nWhat on Earth is going? <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:39,600 –> 00:18:42,500
\nThere’s as the sun comes up and
\nall the Shadows lift. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:42,500 –> 00:18:46,700
\nYou can see an intense Army of
\nhorses and chariots all around. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:46,700 –> 00:18:48,400
\nThey’re kind of in like a little
\nbit of a hilly area. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:48,600 –> 00:18:52,200
\nSo however, the Syrian Army did
\nit, they’ve stationed all around<\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:52,200 –> 00:18:55,600
\nto look really intimidating.
\nAnd Elisha’s servant is maybe <\/p>\n

320
\n00:18:55,600 –> 00:18:58,500
\njust been praying.
\nHe looks up and he sees all of <\/p>\n

321
\n00:18:58,500 –> 00:19:02,700
\nthis crazy Army all around him
\nand you can imagine in the <\/p>\n

322
\n00:19:02,700 –> 00:19:05,200
\ninstant, there’s only him and
\nElijah nearby. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:19:05,700 –> 00:19:07,200
\nAnd Elijah might have been just
\nover there. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:19:07,400 –> 00:19:09,400
\nAnd the first thing he does is
\npanics. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:19:10,100 –> 00:19:14,700
\nAbsolutely panics.
\nThe Hebrew doesn’t get captured <\/p>\n

326
\n00:19:14,700 –> 00:19:17,100
\nin the English.
\nThe the panicky nature of it, a <\/p>\n

327
\n00:19:17,100 –> 00:19:20,200
\nlittle bit alas, my master.
\nWhat shall we do? <\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:20,200 –> 00:19:23,000
\nThis is like a what like what is
\ngoing on? <\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:23,000 –> 00:19:24,200
\nWhat are these people doing
\nhere? <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:27,500
\nAnd he knows like you can tell
\nhe knows that they’re coming <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:27,500 –> 00:19:29,900
\nagainst him.
\nLike why else? <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:30,200 –> 00:19:33,400
\nThere’s no one else around.
\nAnd he panics. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:35,200 –> 00:19:37,100
\nHe would have been a God-fearing
\nperson. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:37,200 –> 00:19:39,500
\nI think that’s safe to conclude
\nby the sisters. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:40,300 –> 00:19:44,100
\nHe himself is only recently as
\nElisha’s servant witnessed some <\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:44,100 –> 00:19:47,000
\npretty extraordinary things like
\nearly under chapter. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:47,000 –> 00:19:48,800
\nHe just witnessed a floating
\naccent. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:51,200
\nIt’s not every day.
\nYou see that floating in the <\/p>\n

339
\n00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:55,300
\nMurray River.
\nSo, he goes out in the morning, <\/p>\n

340
\n00:19:55,500 –> 00:19:58,000
\ntotally unaware, couldn’t see
\nanything because it had been <\/p>\n

341
\n00:19:58,000 –> 00:20:01,400
\nnight.
\nAnd he’s scared skinny to see <\/p>\n

342
\n00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:03,400
\nthe full force of the Syrian
\nArmy. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:20:05,500 –> 00:20:08,600
\nHe has nothing all he sees, but
\nin sisters, like we, of course, <\/p>\n

344
\n00:20:08,600 –> 00:20:11,900
\nwould is the problem and you can
\nsense the fear in the tone of <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:11,900 –> 00:20:16,600
\nhis exclamation to Elijah.
\nAnd here’s where the story takes<\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:16,600 –> 00:20:20,800
\nan extraordinary turn.
\nVerse 16. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:26,500
\nAs he’s sweatin and asking
\nElijah what to be done. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:27,800 –> 00:20:31,000
\nElijah just simply responds like
\nthis, with a note of <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:37,600
\nencouragement to his brother.
\nSo he answered do not fear. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:39,200 –> 00:20:44,500
\nFor those who are with us, are
\nmore than those who are with <\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:44,500 –> 00:20:47,500
\nthem.
\nWhy she’s really combines and <\/p>\n

352
\n00:20:47,500 –> 00:20:51,300
\nsisters.
\nWhy, why is Elijah so calm? <\/p>\n

353
\n00:20:51,400 –> 00:20:53,500
\nWhy is he panicking?
\nWhy isn’t he running around? <\/p>\n

354
\n00:20:53,500 –> 00:20:55,300
\nAnd sending a messenger of the
\nking of Israel? <\/p>\n

355
\n00:20:55,400 –> 00:20:58,400
\nTo send a retinue of Chariots
\nand horses up this way to help <\/p>\n

356
\n00:20:58,400 –> 00:21:00,500
\nthem out?
\nHe doesn’t do anything like <\/p>\n

357
\n00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:03,400
\nthat.
\nNothing, he takes nothing into <\/p>\n

358
\n00:21:03,400 –> 00:21:05,000
\nhis own hands here in that
\nsense. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:21:07,900 –> 00:21:12,000
\nAnd plus, how can you even say
\nthere’s more with us to this <\/p>\n

360
\n00:21:12,000 –> 00:21:14,000
\nyoung servant than there is with
\nthem? <\/p>\n

361
\n00:21:14,100 –> 00:21:16,800
\nThere’s only two of them against
\na great Army. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:21:17,200 –> 00:21:22,900
\nThe math doesn’t stack up at
\nall, But behind this present <\/p>\n

363
\n00:21:22,900 –> 00:21:27,800
\nsisters is a prophet of God,
\nwho’s already seen visions of <\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:27,800 –> 00:21:31,100
\nGod’s Providence.
\nWho knows firsthand in his own <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:31,100 –> 00:21:34,500
\nlife, experience that God is
\nthere and will not go away. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:36,000 –> 00:21:38,400
\nHe could see something Elisha
\ncould see something that his <\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:38,400 –> 00:21:41,100
\nservant could not.
\nYou know, that happens. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:41,100 –> 00:21:46,800
\nSometimes I reckon sometimes.
\nWe might not be able to see <\/p>\n

369
\n00:21:46,800 –> 00:21:51,000
\ncertain things in our life or
\ncircumstances or the Brotherhood<\/p>\n

370
\n00:21:51,300 –> 00:21:54,900
\nor family, but other people
\nmight be able to and they can <\/p>\n

371
\n00:21:54,900 –> 00:21:57,100
\nhelp us out.
\nThat doesn’t mean that they <\/p>\n

372
\n00:21:57,100 –> 00:22:00,800
\nunderstand what’s going on or
\nthat we can pinpoint exactly <\/p>\n

373
\n00:22:00,800 –> 00:22:04,100
\nwhat’s God’s doing but there’s
\npeople at certain times and <\/p>\n

374
\n00:22:04,100 –> 00:22:06,500
\nsometimes it’s you and sometimes
\nit’s person next to you. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:22:07,200 –> 00:22:10,400
\nThat can see more clearly
\nbecause of circumstances in <\/p>\n

376
\n00:22:10,400 –> 00:22:11,900
\ntheir life or what they’ve
\nlearned. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:22:12,800 –> 00:22:15,800
\nAnd we need to impart that
\nvision and encouragement to each<\/p>\n

378
\n00:22:15,800 –> 00:22:18,100
\nother.
\nSee from our perspective, <\/p>\n

379
\n00:22:18,100 –> 00:22:20,800
\npresent sisters, like this, the
\nservant who was caught out, he <\/p>\n

380
\n00:22:20,800 –> 00:22:22,600
\nwas a faithful man God-fearing
\nman. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:22:22,700 –> 00:22:25,900
\nHe was caught out with fear in
\nthe moment and he needed someone<\/p>\n

382
\n00:22:25,900 –> 00:22:30,200
\na brother like Elijah to stand
\nnext to him and say, no, don’t <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:30,200 –> 00:22:33,300
\nworry.
\nThere is heaps more right here <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:36,500
\nwith us.
\nEncamped, all around us than <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:36,500 –> 00:22:38,600
\nanything that you need to worry
\nabout from the other side of the<\/p>\n

386
\n00:22:38,600 –> 00:22:40,300
\narmy.
\nThere’s heaps here. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:22:41,400 –> 00:22:45,300
\nGod is with us.
\nIt’s something his servant <\/p>\n

388
\n00:22:45,300 –> 00:22:47,900
\ncouldn’t think of or believe at
\nthat moment he went through a <\/p>\n

389
\n00:22:47,908 –> 00:22:51,800
\nperiod of challenging anxiety
\nand fear. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:22:51,800 –> 00:22:56,200
\nAnd who wouldn’t our Instinct
\nwould be to do that but he <\/p>\n

391
\n00:22:56,200 –> 00:23:01,000
\nneeded Elijah to calm him down.
\nNot only does Elisha encourage <\/p>\n

392
\n00:23:01,000 –> 00:23:05,000
\nhim with the facts.
\nHe also praised for him and I <\/p>\n

393
\n00:23:05,008 –> 00:23:08,500
\nbelieve with him, but his
\nsister’s look at verse 17. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:23:12,500 –> 00:23:15,500
\nOf all the things that Elisha
\ncould have done at this moment <\/p>\n

395
\n00:23:15,600 –> 00:23:17,800
\nafter saying, don’t worry, God
\nis going. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:23:17,900 –> 00:23:20,600
\nThere’s more with us than the
\nextension arm of all the things <\/p>\n

397
\n00:23:20,600 –> 00:23:24,300
\nhe could have done, like, send a
\nmessage to Israel. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:28,400
\nKing of Israel.
\nNope, Elisha prayed and said, <\/p>\n

399
\n00:23:28,400 –> 00:23:34,800
\nYahweh, I pray open his eyes so
\nhe can see in a sense like so he<\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:34,800 –> 00:23:42,400
\ncan see what I know and see.
\nright then Yahweh opened the <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:42,400 –> 00:23:49,700
\neyes of the young man and he saw
\nAnd behold the mountain was full<\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:49,700 –> 00:23:53,300
\nof horses and Chariots of Fire
\nall around. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:23:53,500 –> 00:23:56,700
\nElijah the two of them together
\nin that place. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:23:56,900 –> 00:23:59,600
\nNow, the Hebrew is extraordinary
\nhere by the sisters because it <\/p>\n

405
\n00:23:59,600 –> 00:24:03,200
\ndraws you into the record.
\nIt doesn’t say that and you <\/p>\n

406
\n00:24:03,200 –> 00:24:06,100
\nknow, Open the Eyes of the young
\nman and he saw the Chariots, the<\/p>\n

407
\n00:24:06,100 –> 00:24:09,400
\nrecord is written like this to
\nget us to get into that <\/p>\n

408
\n00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:12,500
\nsituation.
\nThe Hebrew says, and he saw and <\/p>\n

409
\n00:24:12,500 –> 00:24:15,600
\nlook, the mountain is full of
\nChariots and horses. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:24:15,600 –> 00:24:16,600
\nIt’s getting off.
\nUs. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:24:16,700 –> 00:24:19,300
\nWhat the way this is written is
\nfor us to see it too. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:24:19,300 –> 00:24:25,000
\nNot just Elisha’s servant.
\nAnd he saw and look behold <\/p>\n

413
\n00:24:25,100 –> 00:24:26,900
\nthere.
\nThey were, we need to see that <\/p>\n

414
\n00:24:26,900 –> 00:24:30,600
\nin faith, two brothers and
\nsisters as Elisha’s servant <\/p>\n

415
\n00:24:30,600 –> 00:24:34,100
\ncould see as God gave him, that
\nability to see the reality of <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:34,108 –> 00:24:36,100
\nthe situation.
\nAnd what’s amazing here. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:24:36,100 –> 00:24:39,000
\nBrothers sisters is God gives
\nhim a vision of something that’s<\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:42,000
\nrelevant to his time.
\nHe’s surrounded by chariots and <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:42,000 –> 00:24:44,300
\nhorses.
\nSo what does he see chariots and<\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:44,300 –> 00:24:46,200
\nhorses?
\nBut these ones are on fire <\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:46,700 –> 00:24:48,600
\nbecause this is the Providence
\nof God. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:24:49,400 –> 00:24:51,100
\nThat’s what God encourages him
\nwith. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:24:51,500 –> 00:24:54,400
\nDo you ever think you’re alone?
\nElisha’s servant. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:24:54,500 –> 00:24:58,000
\nNope.
\nThere’s more here than you could<\/p>\n

425
\n00:24:58,000 –> 00:25:00,500
\never need to help you through
\nyour circumstances. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:25:03,200 –> 00:25:08,600
\nA prayer for his servant.
\nYou know, Elijah has seen this <\/p>\n

427
\n00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:11,400
\ntype of thing before.
\nBack in Chapter 2, he was well <\/p>\n

428
\n00:25:11,400 –> 00:25:16,300
\naware of the Providence of God.
\nAnd as one writer put this <\/p>\n

429
\n00:25:16,300 –> 00:25:19,700
\nservant, now also had a clear
\nglimpse of the sovereignty of <\/p>\n

430
\n00:25:19,700 –> 00:25:25,600
\nProvidence In this context, God
\nshows this young man. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:25:25,600 –> 00:25:28,300
\nSomething that was relevant to
\nthe time and place and context <\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:28,300 –> 00:25:30,700
\nof the world and the
\ncircumstance that he was in, <\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:30,700 –> 00:25:34,400
\nright?
\nThen, But you know what’s really<\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:34,400 –> 00:25:35,700
\namazing about this record
\nbutton. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:35,700 –> 00:25:41,400
\nSisters that staggers me, every
\ntime I read it, Is this? <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:43,800 –> 00:25:47,200
\nNot one place in this story.
\nNo further. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:52,400
\nVerse in this record uses the
\nChariots and Horses of fire they<\/p>\n

438
\n00:25:52,400 –> 00:25:56,100
\nappear and they’re gone.
\nNot gone in the sense of like <\/p>\n

439
\n00:25:56,200 –> 00:26:00,400
\nthey’ve all written away and God
\nhas left these two people you <\/p>\n

440
\n00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:02,000
\nwould expect and maybe I would
\ntoo. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:26:02,000 –> 00:26:03,700
\nWell I do expect maybe you would
\ndo. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:26:04,200 –> 00:26:07,200
\nThat’s what I meant to say is
\nthis that the next verse of the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:26:07,200 –> 00:26:10,400
\nstory is Verse 18.
\nSo just pretend verse 18 isn’t <\/p>\n

444
\n00:26:10,400 –> 00:26:13,300
\nquite there yet.
\nYou would expect in this story <\/p>\n

445
\n00:26:13,600 –> 00:26:17,000
\nThe ones God shows all of these
\nchariots and Horses of fire <\/p>\n

446
\n00:26:17,900 –> 00:26:19,500
\nthat.
\nThe next scene is that the <\/p>\n

447
\n00:26:19,500 –> 00:26:23,900
\nSyrian Army is just obliterated
\nbut burning chariots, inflaming <\/p>\n

448
\n00:26:23,900 –> 00:26:28,200
\nlike it would just been the most
\nepic battle ever of like of <\/p>\n

449
\n00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:30,700
\nunreal and surreal proportions.
\nThat’s what you would think. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:26:30,700 –> 00:26:32,700
\nWould happen.
\nGod shows them the Army has says<\/p>\n

451
\n00:26:32,700 –> 00:26:34,100
\nright, this is what I’m going to
\nuse. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:26:34,300 –> 00:26:38,400
\nThat is not how this story ends,
\neven remotely, there is no epic <\/p>\n

453
\n00:26:38,400 –> 00:26:41,600
\nbattle between the Syrian horses
\nand chariots and the horses and <\/p>\n

454
\n00:26:41,600 –> 00:26:46,100
\nchariots on fire by Yahweh.
\nHe never saves Elisha’s servant <\/p>\n

455
\n00:26:46,100 –> 00:26:49,000
\nby using that Army.
\nNot even close, they’re not even<\/p>\n

456
\n00:26:49,000 –> 00:26:53,600
\nused in the rest of the record
\nbut he wants Elisha’s servant to<\/p>\n

457
\n00:26:53,600 –> 00:26:57,600
\nknow that they are there.
\nBut he’s not telling Elisha’s <\/p>\n

458
\n00:26:57,600 –> 00:27:00,800
\nservant how he’s going to work
\nit out and save them, he will <\/p>\n

459
\n00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:03,600
\ndeliver him but it will not be
\nsomething necessary that I <\/p>\n

460
\n00:27:03,600 –> 00:27:05,500
\nshould serve.
\nAnd even understands in fact the<\/p>\n

461
\n00:27:05,600 –> 00:27:08,600
\nthe crazy thing about this story
\nbrothers and sisters that <\/p>\n

462
\n00:27:08,600 –> 00:27:11,900
\npinches us to reality of how God
\nworks and we don’t always <\/p>\n

463
\n00:27:11,900 –> 00:27:17,000
\nunderstand but we need to trust.
\nis that that very day little did<\/p>\n

464
\n00:27:17,000 –> 00:27:20,100
\nElijah servant know, but he
\nwould be setting the table for <\/p>\n

465
\n00:27:20,100 –> 00:27:24,900
\nthat Army and giving them a
\nfeast and instead of a bloodbath<\/p>\n

466
\n00:27:25,000 –> 00:27:28,600
\nthere would be a banquet That’s
\nhow God was going to work out <\/p>\n

467
\n00:27:28,600 –> 00:27:31,100
\nthis story and the servant had
\nno idea. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:27:31,100 –> 00:27:34,300
\nLittle did he know that that’s
\nhow this story would end that he<\/p>\n

469
\n00:27:34,300 –> 00:27:37,600
\nwould be feeding this army.
\nThey would not be watching them,<\/p>\n

470
\n00:27:37,600 –> 00:27:40,600
\ndestroyed with chariots and
\nHorses of fire burned up to a <\/p>\n

471
\n00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:43,400
\ncrisp or however, light that
\nhave happened. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:27:43,700 –> 00:27:45,400
\nAmazing.
\nGod did not do that. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:27:46,800 –> 00:27:50,200
\nThere was more going on here,
\nbut the sisters than, just this <\/p>\n

474
\n00:27:50,200 –> 00:27:53,000
\nservants circumstances, there’s
\na nation, there’s lessons. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:27:53,000 –> 00:27:55,300
\nThere’s a king of Israel.
\nIt’s yet to learn something <\/p>\n

476
\n00:27:55,300 –> 00:27:57,300
\npowerful that he still can’t
\nsee. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:27:58,600 –> 00:28:02,000
\nSo will I should servants
\nperspective, is common to us. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:28:02,500 –> 00:28:08,100
\nHe saw what was around him?
\nThe enemy, the largeness of it. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:28:08,100 –> 00:28:10,200
\nThe might the terrible
\ncircumstances. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:28:10,200 –> 00:28:13,100
\nThe challenges that he was
\nfacing us as an individual. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:28:13,500 –> 00:28:17,400
\nHe was a spiritual man, but he
\nwas experiencing a period of <\/p>\n

482
\n00:28:17,400 –> 00:28:19,500
\nfear in his life.
\nThat just came upon Him. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:28:19,500 –> 00:28:24,600
\nSuddenly in that morning, when
\nhe woke out, And the prayer that<\/p>\n

484
\n00:28:24,600 –> 00:28:28,800
\nhis brother offered was that God
\nwould open his eyes so he could <\/p>\n

485
\n00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:32,400
\nsee why she’s prayer wasn’t for
\nthe means of how God would <\/p>\n

486
\n00:28:32,400 –> 00:28:36,300
\ndeliver them for that situation.
\nIt was so that those who were in<\/p>\n

487
\n00:28:36,300 –> 00:28:41,000
\nThe Situation could just richly
\ntrust that God was there, <\/p>\n

488
\n00:28:41,000 –> 00:28:48,400
\nwhatever he would do.
\nDoes this really apply to us? <\/p>\n

489
\n00:28:48,400 –> 00:28:51,500
\nI mean, this is an obscure story
\nin the record of Kings. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:28:51,800 –> 00:28:54,900
\nGod, working through prophets
\nand doing Miracles, does it? <\/p>\n

491
\n00:28:55,000 –> 00:28:58,800
\nYes, it does Psalm 34 verse 7.
\nWe’ve quoted it, but now we’re <\/p>\n

492
\n00:28:58,800 –> 00:29:01,800
\ngoing to read it.
\nCome back to some 34. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:29:06,300 –> 00:29:14,400
\nVerse 7.
\nThis song was written before <\/p>\n

494
\n00:29:14,400 –> 00:29:19,100
\nthis incident took place.
\nWell before This is from the <\/p>\n

495
\n00:29:19,100 –> 00:29:21,900
\ntime of David.
\nAnd in fact, brothers and <\/p>\n

496
\n00:29:21,908 –> 00:29:26,100
\nsisters, it could very well be
\nthat the Elijah, the servant of <\/p>\n

497
\n00:29:26,100 –> 00:29:30,900
\nElijah knew this song But when
\nyou’re stuck in that situation <\/p>\n

498
\n00:29:31,200 –> 00:29:34,700
\nand you need to try and believe
\nit and rely on it, well, it’s <\/p>\n

499
\n00:29:34,700 –> 00:29:36,800
\nthe challenge, isn’t it?
\nWhen God puts us through <\/p>\n

500
\n00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:41,600
\ncircumstances, that tests our
\nfaith, Look at Psalm 34. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:29:42,900 –> 00:29:47,900
\nVerse 6, this poor man, cried
\nout and Yahweh, heard him and <\/p>\n

502
\n00:29:47,900 –> 00:29:50,000
\nsaved him.
\nOut of all his troubles doesn’t <\/p>\n

503
\n00:29:50,000 –> 00:29:53,500
\nsay how It’s not even
\nnecessarily in the way we <\/p>\n

504
\n00:29:53,508 –> 00:29:57,100
\nexpected.
\nBut here is the encouragement in<\/p>\n

505
\n00:29:57,100 –> 00:30:01,700
\nverse 7, the angel of Yahweh and
\ncamps all around those who fear <\/p>\n

506
\n00:30:01,700 –> 00:30:04,700
\nHim and delivers them somehow.
\nSomeway. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:30:06,100 –> 00:30:09,100
\nBut nevertheless, the point is
\nthat, the angel of the Lord is <\/p>\n

508
\n00:30:09,100 –> 00:30:12,400
\nall around.
\nAll around. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:17,600
\nIt’s Not Unusual, president
\nsisters and it’s not wrong for <\/p>\n

510
\n00:30:17,600 –> 00:30:20,200
\nGodly brothers and sisters to
\nexperience fear. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:30:21,300 –> 00:30:25,500
\nIt can happen.
\nIt can happen when various <\/p>\n

512
\n00:30:25,500 –> 00:30:29,300
\ncircumstances in life, come
\nalong or Family Matters or a <\/p>\n

513
\n00:30:29,300 –> 00:30:32,000
\ncollegial matters.
\nIf that’s not a sign of <\/p>\n

514
\n00:30:32,000 –> 00:30:36,500
\nungodliness President sisters,
\nbut it’s a sign that God is <\/p>\n

515
\n00:30:36,500 –> 00:30:40,100
\nworking in us to open our eyes
\nto help us trust in him through <\/p>\n

516
\n00:30:40,100 –> 00:30:43,500
\nthat fear.
\nPsalm 34 makes that clear to <\/p>\n

517
\n00:30:43,600 –> 00:30:47,500
\nsays, he delivered me out of all
\nmy fears godly people do go <\/p>\n

518
\n00:30:47,500 –> 00:30:51,900
\nthrough fearful times.
\nIn the message of the psalm is <\/p>\n

519
\n00:30:51,900 –> 00:30:55,900
\nto say that when you are in
\nthose times, you can trust that <\/p>\n

520
\n00:30:55,900 –> 00:30:58,300
\nGod is encamped everywhere
\naround you. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:30:58,500 –> 00:31:02,200
\nThat’s not just a nice feeling.
\nIt is actually the reality that <\/p>\n

522
\n00:31:02,200 –> 00:31:04,700
\nwe either do or do not see
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

523
\n00:31:05,400 –> 00:31:10,300
\nThat’s the message.
\nYou may not be in danger and <\/p>\n

524
\n00:31:10,300 –> 00:31:14,100
\nsaying here of our life when we
\nwake up some morning like <\/p>\n

525
\n00:31:14,100 –> 00:31:18,400
\nElisha’s servant, God doesn’t
\nput all of us in that situation <\/p>\n

526
\n00:31:18,900 –> 00:31:22,800
\nbut he certainly Works in all of
\nour lives and all of us at times<\/p>\n

527
\n00:31:22,800 –> 00:31:26,800
\nface challenging circumstances,
\nyou know, at the simplest level,<\/p>\n

528
\n00:31:26,800 –> 00:31:29,800
\nthis incident in second Kings
\nchapter 6, which the lycian is <\/p>\n

529
\n00:31:29,800 –> 00:31:34,400
\nservant is a situation in the
\nBrotherhood where one person is <\/p>\n

530
\n00:31:34,400 –> 00:31:38,700
\nconveying their dismay fear or
\nanxiety about the circumstances <\/p>\n

531
\n00:31:38,700 –> 00:31:43,700
\nin their life and another person
\nencourages them and prays for <\/p>\n

532
\n00:31:43,700 –> 00:31:47,400
\nthem, This is common to our
\nexperience. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:31:47,900 –> 00:31:52,200
\nWhichever position.
\nWe may find ourselves in Or is <\/p>\n

534
\n00:31:52,200 –> 00:31:56,200
\nit brothers and sisters?
\nSharing problems and concerns <\/p>\n

535
\n00:31:56,200 –> 00:31:59,000
\nand anxieties is common common
\nenough. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:04,200
\nA lot of those conversations
\nhappen but how often is praying <\/p>\n

537
\n00:32:04,200 –> 00:32:07,500
\nfor each other?
\nWhen does that happen? <\/p>\n

538
\n00:32:07,900 –> 00:32:11,900
\nIt does it. you know, we rarely
\nwake up in the morning to <\/p>\n

539
\n00:32:11,900 –> 00:32:16,800
\ncircumstances, it’s as dramatic
\nas this But it can happen. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:32:18,000 –> 00:32:20,800
\nHowever more common to our
\nexperience is possibly less <\/p>\n

541
\n00:32:20,800 –> 00:32:24,700
\ndramatic issues, perhaps less
\nlife-threatening or altering <\/p>\n

542
\n00:32:25,000 –> 00:32:28,400
\nhowever we need site all the
\nsame. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:32:29,600 –> 00:32:32,200
\nTo see that God’s ministers to
\nthose, who will inherit <\/p>\n

544
\n00:32:32,200 –> 00:32:36,600
\nsalvation, which is easy to just
\nkind of say off the tongue, but <\/p>\n

545
\n00:32:36,600 –> 00:32:40,800
\nthat’s what the angels are. are
\nnot merely commissioned for <\/p>\n

546
\n00:32:40,800 –> 00:32:45,300
\ndrastic times, but to our daily
\nchoices and challenges, our <\/p>\n

547
\n00:32:45,300 –> 00:32:50,000
\ndaily, fears and failures, We
\nhave many challenges that face <\/p>\n

548
\n00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:51,800
\nour members in the bodybuilding
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:32:53,100 –> 00:32:55,700
\nNot everyone’s going through
\nchallenging circumstances. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:32:56,600 –> 00:33:00,400
\nBut it seems common enough
\ncircumstances that need absolute<\/p>\n

551
\n00:33:00,400 –> 00:33:03,400
\nClarity of vision in one
\nparticular area. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:33:04,400 –> 00:33:10,900
\nGod’s Sovereign Providence.
\nHis tight encampment around us. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:33:11,500 –> 00:33:14,700
\nHe wants us to see that he
\nreally does. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:33:15,500 –> 00:33:18,500
\nWe have members here with us and
\nonline, that feel the acute and <\/p>\n

555
\n00:33:18,500 –> 00:33:21,500
\nsharpening challenges of a whole
\nrange of issues. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:33:22,400 –> 00:33:24,500
\nMaybe it’s old age, wreaking
\nhavoc. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:33:25,700 –> 00:33:30,200
\nMaybe it’s our teenagers, some
\nof our teenagers in early 20s, <\/p>\n

558
\n00:33:30,900 –> 00:33:34,100
\nmaybe there’s different issues
\nfor them and an old age is not <\/p>\n

559
\n00:33:34,100 –> 00:33:36,000
\nsomething that they could relate
\nto in the challenges and the <\/p>\n

560
\n00:33:36,000 –> 00:33:39,400
\npersonal circumstances that that
\nimpinges upon, but they have <\/p>\n

561
\n00:33:39,400 –> 00:33:43,200
\ntheir own issues, possibly maybe
\nsocial ones or of a sexual <\/p>\n

562
\n00:33:43,200 –> 00:33:46,600
\nnature that can war in their
\nmembers at times. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:33:48,600 –> 00:33:51,200
\nSynthesized to rein in their
\nmortal bodies. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:33:51,800 –> 00:33:55,400
\nIn all of ours, possibly feeling
\nsurrounded at Toms and every <\/p>\n

565
\n00:33:55,400 –> 00:33:59,000
\nSide by our own weaknesses and
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:33:59,000 –> 00:34:02,500
\nIt sure can feel like a great
\nArmy at times. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:34:03,700 –> 00:34:06,200
\nThe still others in our body,
\nmay feel the sharp pain of being<\/p>\n

568
\n00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:10,400
\nunmarried when they wish God
\nwould provide, this is not <\/p>\n

569
\n00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:12,699
\nuncommon.
\nAnd I felt that before too. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:34:14,699 –> 00:34:17,100
\nIt brings other unspoken and
\nmisunderstood personal <\/p>\n

571
\n00:34:17,100 –> 00:34:20,400
\nchallenges at times and again
\npossible feelings of anxiety and<\/p>\n

572
\n00:34:20,400 –> 00:34:24,800
\nother feelings for others.
\nIts physical sickness an <\/p>\n

573
\n00:34:24,800 –> 00:34:28,600
\nuncertain medical outcomes that
\nweighs anxiously in those quiet <\/p>\n

574
\n00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:32,600
\nlonely moments on the Mind,
\nthinking about the future and <\/p>\n

575
\n00:34:32,600 –> 00:34:35,400
\nfamily for others.
\nThere are deeply personal <\/p>\n

576
\n00:34:35,400 –> 00:34:39,199
\nmatters that feel Goliath like,
\nand how they impose themselves <\/p>\n

577
\n00:34:39,199 –> 00:34:41,800
\nin different areas of life,
\nincluding relationships, and <\/p>\n

578
\n00:34:41,800 –> 00:34:45,400
\nmarriage, bonds, and just simply
\ninability to mix and feel part <\/p>\n

579
\n00:34:45,400 –> 00:34:51,000
\nof this body.
\nOthers may feel the pain of loss<\/p>\n

580
\n00:34:51,000 –> 00:34:54,900
\nof employment.
\nThese perhaps are just some of <\/p>\n

581
\n00:34:54,908 –> 00:34:57,200
\nthe ones that we know or hear
\nabout in our experience. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:34:57,200 –> 00:35:01,500
\nBut there are many more There’s
\nlots of varied ways in which a <\/p>\n

583
\n00:35:01,500 –> 00:35:06,000
\nBeliever faces, deep troubles in
\nlife. many of these issues and <\/p>\n

584
\n00:35:06,000 –> 00:35:08,300
\ntrials don’t even go away
\novernight, some of them last for<\/p>\n

585
\n00:35:08,300 –> 00:35:11,400
\na long time maybe months
\nsometimes years sometimes it <\/p>\n

586
\n00:35:11,400 –> 00:35:15,100
\nfeels like they’re not going to
\nend but this record is <\/p>\n

587
\n00:35:15,100 –> 00:35:18,600
\nchallenging you and I To ask
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:35:18,600 –> 00:35:22,500
\nWhat we really see.
\nWhen we look around with and <\/p>\n

589
\n00:35:22,500 –> 00:35:25,900
\nsisters, maybe if you’re older
\nyou might look around. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:35:26,000 –> 00:35:30,600
\nAnd what you see is that your
\nlife is aging your troubles with<\/p>\n

591
\n00:35:30,600 –> 00:35:34,900
\nhealth light being creates what
\nyou see around you maybe you see<\/p>\n

592
\n00:35:35,600 –> 00:35:38,100
\nother issues in your life maybe
\nit’s personal it. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:35:38,100 –> 00:35:42,600
\nWhat you see is your mistakes,
\nthe challenges of getting along <\/p>\n

594
\n00:35:42,600 –> 00:35:46,100
\nwith others or feeling part of
\nthis body feeling accepted <\/p>\n

595
\n00:35:46,300 –> 00:35:48,800
\nmaybe.
\nAll those are various challenges<\/p>\n

596
\n00:35:50,100 –> 00:35:52,900
\nMaybe we feel challenged by the
\nMonumental shifts in our society<\/p>\n

597
\n00:35:52,900 –> 00:35:56,200
\nthat are going on around us.
\nWhere the world’s headed? <\/p>\n

598
\n00:35:57,800 –> 00:36:02,900
\nWhat second Kings, chapter 6 is
\ndoing is telling us to see it <\/p>\n

599
\n00:36:02,900 –> 00:36:06,700
\nhow God sees it, not necessarily
\nbrother and sisters. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:36:06,700 –> 00:36:10,000
\nMy pains to feel this not
\nnecessarily seeing how God will <\/p>\n

601
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:14,000
\nactually bring you through it.
\nBut to believe he will. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:36:14,100 –> 00:36:17,400
\nAnd that he’s actually encamped
\naround you as much as we don’t <\/p>\n

603
\n00:36:17,400 –> 00:36:19,700
\nunderstand.
\nAs much as it might feel unfair <\/p>\n

604
\n00:36:19,700 –> 00:36:25,100
\nor fearful or, or trying, but to
\nbelieve that he is, they’re just<\/p>\n

605
\n00:36:25,100 –> 00:36:30,400
\nseeing God, We need to pray for
\nGod to open our eyes to see <\/p>\n

606
\n00:36:30,400 –> 00:36:33,200
\nthings like this.
\nThat’s the reality of the <\/p>\n

607
\n00:36:33,200 –> 00:36:35,600
\nsituation.
\nThat’s the permanent reality, <\/p>\n

608
\n00:36:35,600 –> 00:36:39,100
\nrather than sisters, our current
\ncircumstances will change. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:36:39,100 –> 00:36:41,100
\nAnd in the end, they will no
\nlonger be. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:36:42,400 –> 00:36:46,300
\nIn the end.
\nGive us eyes to see God. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:36:47,600 –> 00:36:52,200
\nTo see you, encamped around us.
\nOur human nature. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:36:53,900 –> 00:36:55,800
\nAnd human thinking things like
\nPride. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:36:56,900 –> 00:37:03,200
\nTends to keep us in the dark.
\nBut if we open, our eyes will <\/p>\n

614
\n00:37:03,200 –> 00:37:07,600
\nsee that God is right there.
\nYou know, brothers sisters. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:37:07,600 –> 00:37:10,500
\nI feel like maybe this is a good
\nchallenge for us. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:37:11,200 –> 00:37:15,500
\nMaybe a bit of homework, if you
\nwill a challenge you this week <\/p>\n

617
\n00:37:15,800 –> 00:37:18,900
\nto pray for, someone be the
\nElijah for someone. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:37:19,000 –> 00:37:22,300
\nThat’s my challenge for you to
\npray for someone. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:37:22,500 –> 00:37:26,800
\nNot for understanding how God
\nwill solve the problems of the <\/p>\n

620
\n00:37:26,800 –> 00:37:29,300
\ncircumstances, but for open
\neyes. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:37:31,500 –> 00:37:33,500
\nSit down and pray with someone
\nthat you’ve never prayed with <\/p>\n

622
\n00:37:33,500 –> 00:37:37,100
\nbefore and pray.
\nThat God will open your eyes, or<\/p>\n

623
\n00:37:37,100 –> 00:37:38,900
\ntheir eyes, or whatever that
\nneed might be. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:37:39,200 –> 00:37:42,000
\nNow, we can think of a million
\nexcuses, why not to do this <\/p>\n

625
\n00:37:42,100 –> 00:37:43,800
\nbecause it’s not your
\npersonality. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:37:44,300 –> 00:37:46,900
\nIt’s not something you’re
\ncomfortable with but it’s <\/p>\n

627
\n00:37:46,900 –> 00:37:50,200
\ndeeply, spiritual brothers and
\nsisters and it’s deeply part of <\/p>\n

628
\n00:37:50,200 –> 00:37:53,400
\nthis story of Elijah and his
\nservant and the brotherly bond <\/p>\n

629
\n00:37:53,500 –> 00:37:55,400
\nin belief in God that they
\nshared together. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:37:56,300 –> 00:37:58,600
\nMaybe you can only do that over
\nthe phone, just call someone up <\/p>\n

631
\n00:37:58,600 –> 00:38:01,200
\nand pray over the phone.
\nThat’s possible. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:38:01,800 –> 00:38:06,300
\nI was with a brother earlier
\nthis week also just walking <\/p>\n

633
\n00:38:06,300 –> 00:38:10,800
\naround before school and we
\ntalked about a lot of things in <\/p>\n

634
\n00:38:10,808 –> 00:38:14,500
\nthe Brotherhood, but the most
\npowerful thing was to sit down <\/p>\n

635
\n00:38:14,500 –> 00:38:18,100
\nin a park bench and pray prayer
\nhearts out that God would open <\/p>\n

636
\n00:38:18,100 –> 00:38:20,900
\nher eyes to trust in him.
\nNot take things at our own <\/p>\n

637
\n00:38:20,900 –> 00:38:25,500
\nhands.
\nI challenge you to pray with <\/p>\n

638
\n00:38:25,500 –> 00:38:27,700
\nsomeone and for someone this
\nweek. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:38:29,100 –> 00:38:31,600
\nSo God can open our eyes and
\nhelp us to trust in him. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:38:31,900 –> 00:38:34,200
\nDo you know there’s another part
\nto this story but the sisters? <\/p>\n

641
\n00:38:34,200 –> 00:38:38,300
\nThe and it starts in verse 18
\nand we’re just going to <\/p>\n

642
\n00:38:38,300 –> 00:38:41,900
\nhighlight what’s in this section
\nbecause I’d love you to mull it <\/p>\n

643
\n00:38:41,900 –> 00:38:45,100
\nover this week.
\nYou know, the strange thing is <\/p>\n

644
\n00:38:45,100 –> 00:38:49,100
\nthis story of this event doesn’t
\nend, like we would possibly <\/p>\n

645
\n00:38:49,100 –> 00:38:51,700
\nexpect it with the obliteration
\nof the syrians. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:38:52,300 –> 00:38:56,000
\nThe strange things that unfold
\nnow are this in part two. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:38:56,000 –> 00:38:58,700
\nSo part one was just the
\nmessage. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:38:58,900 –> 00:39:03,700
\nHer one of the story up to verse
\n17 is for God to see the <\/p>\n

649
\n00:39:03,700 –> 00:39:08,300
\nimportance of seeing him.
\nIn our life, part two is, the <\/p>\n

650
\n00:39:08,300 –> 00:39:12,500
\nimpact that seeing him in our
\nlife can have, as you deal with <\/p>\n

651
\n00:39:12,500 –> 00:39:15,000
\nother people, you know, in
\nsummary, this is what happens. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:39:15,200 –> 00:39:18,800
\nElijah prays that God will
\nstrike the Syrian Army, not with<\/p>\n

653
\n00:39:18,800 –> 00:39:21,200
\na plague or obliterate them, but
\nwith blindness. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:39:21,300 –> 00:39:24,800
\nSo, the syrians become blind and
\nthey’re in Dothan walk around <\/p>\n

655
\n00:39:24,800 –> 00:39:26,100
\nand there.
\nDon’t forget, they’re looking <\/p>\n

656
\n00:39:26,100 –> 00:39:28,700
\nfor Elijah, right?
\nAnd Elijah walk. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:39:28,800 –> 00:39:32,500
\nOx up to them and they can’t see
\nin the blindness here, seems to <\/p>\n

658
\n00:39:32,500 –> 00:39:35,200
\nbe from some blight, bright
\nlight, the Hebrew are a, they <\/p>\n

659
\n00:39:35,200 –> 00:39:37,000
\ncan’t see.
\nSo the Army’s all around and <\/p>\n

660
\n00:39:37,000 –> 00:39:38,700
\nthey can’t see it.
\nElijah comes up to them. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:39:38,800 –> 00:39:43,200
\nAnd he says, oh, let me take you
\nto the city, where that man is <\/p>\n

662
\n00:39:43,400 –> 00:39:45,800
\nnow, he’s right there, he’s
\nright with them. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:39:46,100 –> 00:39:50,500
\nAnd they begin this 15 kilometer
\nTrek down to the Southwest to <\/p>\n

664
\n00:39:50,500 –> 00:39:52,900
\nSamaria, where the Royal
\nresidences were for the Kings of<\/p>\n

665
\n00:39:52,900 –> 00:39:56,300
\nIsrael, and imagine that.
\nIt’s a ridiculous story. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:39:56,300 –> 00:39:58,200
\nIt’s a ridiculous picture in
\nyour mind. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:39:58,300 –> 00:40:00,300
\nThere’s a lie.
\nRussia and his servant walking <\/p>\n

668
\n00:40:00,300 –> 00:40:02,800
\nalong and behind them are the
\nhorses and chariots. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:40:02,900 –> 00:40:05,100
\nAnd he takes the whole group of
\nthem because they can’t even <\/p>\n

670
\n00:40:05,100 –> 00:40:08,000
\nfind their way.
\nAnd they arrived in the Royal <\/p>\n

671
\n00:40:08,300 –> 00:40:13,500
\nresidences of Israel’s King and
\nthen he says, Lord open their <\/p>\n

672
\n00:40:13,500 –> 00:40:17,200
\neyes and it’s kind of like this
\nthe being and it opened their <\/p>\n

673
\n00:40:17,200 –> 00:40:19,900
\neyes and the crazy thing at
\nElijah is right there. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:40:19,900 –> 00:40:23,100
\nThat’s who they were trying to
\nfind and they’re right inside <\/p>\n

675
\n00:40:23,100 –> 00:40:25,000
\nthe heart of the enemy
\nterritory. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:40:26,500 –> 00:40:28,300
\nAnd you know what the king of
\nIsrael says? <\/p>\n

677
\n00:40:29,900 –> 00:40:31,900
\nBecause he can’t see what’s
\ngoing on. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:40:32,900 –> 00:40:35,700
\nHe says, I’d kill him.
\nLet’s kill him. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:40:35,900 –> 00:40:38,400
\nHe’s going for a bloodbath,
\nthey’re the enemy, right? <\/p>\n

680
\n00:40:38,400 –> 00:40:41,500
\nLet’s obliterate them.
\nAnd Elisha says, how dare you? <\/p>\n

681
\n00:40:41,800 –> 00:40:45,200
\nLet’s put on a meal.
\nThat’s how I should treat. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:40:45,200 –> 00:40:48,500
\nSee enemies.
\nAnd I believe this sends a <\/p>\n

683
\n00:40:48,500 –> 00:40:52,700
\nmessage to me.
\nBuzzin sisters personally, If <\/p>\n

684
\n00:40:52,700 –> 00:40:56,800
\nyou can’t see God.
\nAt work and you don’t believe <\/p>\n

685
\n00:40:56,800 –> 00:40:59,400
\nhe’s at work in your life
\nvisibly. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:41:01,000 –> 00:41:04,200
\nIndirectly.
\nYou’re probably more likely to <\/p>\n

687
\n00:41:04,200 –> 00:41:06,800
\nhave the response like the king
\nof Israel, right? <\/p>\n

688
\n00:41:07,800 –> 00:41:12,900
\nI think that’s true.
\nIf you can’t see God, your first<\/p>\n

689
\n00:41:12,900 –> 00:41:15,700
\nreaction is going to take him to
\nyour own hand, let’s kill him. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:41:15,700 –> 00:41:18,000
\nThis is an opportunity to kill
\nhim and Elijah who can see <\/p>\n

691
\n00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:19,900
\neverything that’s going on, says
\nnot. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:41:20,500 –> 00:41:23,100
\nLet’s put on a banquet, that’s
\nhow we’re going to treat the <\/p>\n

693
\n00:41:23,100 –> 00:41:25,500
\nenemy.
\nAnd I think there’s something <\/p>\n

694
\n00:41:25,500 –> 00:41:27,400
\nextraordinary here, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:41:27,700 –> 00:41:30,000
\nThe people who can see God in
\nthis story. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:41:30,700 –> 00:41:37,600
\nTreat people kindly Jesus picks
\nup on this and says you’ve got <\/p>\n

697
\n00:41:37,600 –> 00:41:41,300
\nenemies.
\nFeed them. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:41:42,100 –> 00:41:45,000
\nMatthew chapter 5.
\nHave them over. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:41:45,400 –> 00:41:48,100
\nI might not be possible in every
\ncase, but that’s how you treat <\/p>\n

700
\n00:41:48,100 –> 00:41:51,400
\npeople that maybe your off side
\nwith whatever degree that enemy <\/p>\n

701
\n00:41:51,400 –> 00:41:53,800
\nmight be, who knows?
\nBut if you if you want to take <\/p>\n

702
\n00:41:53,800 –> 00:41:57,300
\nthe spirit of Jesus out of this
\nOld Testament passage, it’s how <\/p>\n

703
\n00:41:57,300 –> 00:42:01,200
\ndo you treat your enemies?
\nAnd if you, if you actually <\/p>\n

704
\n00:42:01,600 –> 00:42:07,200
\nbelieve that Christ is with you,
\nit will change how you treat <\/p>\n

705
\n00:42:07,200 –> 00:42:10,000
\npeople.
\nThat’s what’s going on here. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:42:10,200 –> 00:42:13,500
\nTotal contrast between Elijah
\nand the king of Israel total. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:42:14,000 –> 00:42:17,400
\nContrast.
\nHow did Jesus teach so strongly <\/p>\n

708
\n00:42:17,600 –> 00:42:21,100
\nthat you can pray for those who
\nspitefully use you and your <\/p>\n

709
\n00:42:21,100 –> 00:42:22,900
\nenemies.
\nHow did he do that? <\/p>\n

710
\n00:42:22,900 –> 00:42:25,200
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nThat’s the most extraordinary <\/p>\n

711
\n00:42:25,200 –> 00:42:26,700
\nteaching.
\nThe planet has ever. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:42:26,700 –> 00:42:30,100
\nSeen come out of the mouth of
\nthe Son of God. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:42:31,000 –> 00:42:34,900
\nIt goes against every fiber of
\nour being in Human Nature. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:42:36,300 –> 00:42:39,600
\nHow can Jesus do that?
\nBecause he knew that God was <\/p>\n

715
\n00:42:39,600 –> 00:42:44,700
\nwith him every step of the way.
\nAnd if you do believe that, it’s<\/p>\n

716
\n00:42:44,700 –> 00:42:47,500
\ngot to change how you treat
\npeople, you’ll be less likely to<\/p>\n

717
\n00:42:47,500 –> 00:42:50,800
\ntake into your, you’ll be less
\nlikely to disparage them and do <\/p>\n

718
\n00:42:50,800 –> 00:42:53,300
\nsomething nasty to them.
\nAnd I believe that is a <\/p>\n

719
\n00:42:53,300 –> 00:42:55,800
\nmassively powerful.
\nExcitation to me. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:42:56,000 –> 00:42:59,400
\nHow does Romans chapter 12?
\nSay, if your enemy is hungry, <\/p>\n

721
\n00:42:59,400 –> 00:43:02,000
\nput a meal on for that’s Romans
\nchapter. 12 is all over. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:43:02,000 –> 00:43:05,900
\nThis story live peaceably, don’t
\ntake Vengeance, that’s mine. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:43:06,300 –> 00:43:09,100
\nPeaceably with all men, do good
\nto the. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:43:09,100 –> 00:43:11,400
\nThis is all the same sort of
\nthing, that’s happening right <\/p>\n

725
\n00:43:11,400 –> 00:43:14,800
\nhere.
\nOnce God lifts the veil off of <\/p>\n

726
\n00:43:14,800 –> 00:43:18,200
\nElisha’s servant size.
\nNow he can treat his enemies <\/p>\n

727
\n00:43:18,200 –> 00:43:21,000
\ndifferently because he’s not
\ndepending on himself. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:43:21,100 –> 00:43:25,200
\nHe’s leaving it to God and he
\nwill just show the kindness of <\/p>\n

729
\n00:43:25,200 –> 00:43:27,700
\nGod and the compassion of God to
\nthose enemies. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:43:27,700 –> 00:43:31,200
\nAnd leave the rest to God, who
\nknows how God will deliver. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:43:33,900 –> 00:43:38,100
\nThat’s the power.
\nOf the teaching of the son of <\/p>\n

732
\n00:43:38,100 –> 00:43:42,100
\nGod.
\nAnd how we treat our enemies. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:43:43,600 –> 00:43:45,300
\nMaybe it’s true brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

734
\n00:43:45,600 –> 00:43:48,900
\nMaybe it’s true for you.
\nIt’s probably true for me. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:43:53,200 –> 00:43:56,000
\nThat the degree to, which I
\nbelieve God is involved. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:43:57,100 –> 00:44:01,200
\nAnd around me.
\nHas a direct correlation. <\/p>\n

737
\n00:44:02,300 –> 00:44:06,500
\nTo how I handle other people in
\nthe Ecclesia, and how I treat <\/p>\n

738
\n00:44:06,500 –> 00:44:13,600
\npeople, how I talk about them.
\nAnd what I do. so, the message <\/p>\n

739
\n00:44:13,600 –> 00:44:18,300
\nfrom this week, or for this
